I particularly like the last bit

"The German-owned company is also the country's MOST WASTEFUL water
firm, haemorrhaging 196million gallons of water every day - the
equivalent of 350 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

Last month regulator Ofwat came under fire for REFUSING TO FINE Thames
Water for its failure to meet leakage targets in the capital for the
seventh year in succession.

Instead, the company was ordered to invest an extra £150million by
2010 to replace nearly 230 miles of old water pipes in London."

Why don't they FINE and ORDER to invest???

...........................................

and where would the money come from?

The Board of Directors?

In the words of a once famous net nanny who doesn't seem to post here very
much now, "I think not"

The public would just pay more.
